Utah Clean Cities

Utah Clean Cities Coalition (UCCC) was the 16th coalition in the nation to join the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Clean Cities Program in 1994. Today it is one of nearly 100 coalitions across the country that is part of the U.S. DOE’s Vehicle Technologies Program—a program designed to reduce the U.S. import and overall consumption of petroleum. Since its establishment UCCC has grown into a statewide, 501(c)3 nonprofit with a robust network that spans the state and the nation.

Through the promotion of alternative fuels, advanced technology vehicles, and fuel economy strategies, the coalition has worked to ease concerns about climbing gas prices, increased price volatility, and rising public and environmental health issues. 

UCCC’s works with federal and state government, its stakeholders, local partners, as well as the public to promote smart transportation and fuel economy practices, like Idle Free Utah. Since its implementation, this campaign has had significant behavioral change impacts, including the adoption of Idle Free Resolutions and Ordinances in several cities across the state. 

As a non-profit organization UCCC utilizes its unique position in the community to provide a forum for local businesses, government and the public to influence resources, create joint projects and collaborate on public policy for reduced petroleum use in Utah’s transportation sector.
